Box 1 of the W-2 is the correct box to use when evaluating overtime. Box 3 is Social Security wages. However, I'd like to understand a couple of things.
- You're a dual-role employee
- This W-2 is 100% overtime.
- You should have a second W-2 with the same EIN for the straight-time portion of your dual role?
Combine the two W-2's that are from the same EIN.
The IRS will recognise the two EINs as the same and do the same calculation.
This will resolve the 33,3% overtime issue.
